First, condolences to Rondoman and roastbeast (Vez?). Was reading last night’s thread and wanted to say something.
And two: I fully endorse the Boy Meets World return ONLY if Topanga is involved. Total babe.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:30 AM
It all depends on when the ginger will let the Cowboys sign Mr. Payton.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:32 AM
That is a platform we can all agree on.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:33 AM
Cool killer whale video.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:33 AM
if you don’t have enough money to tip, you don’t have enough money to get pizza delivered. get off your fat ass honey and drive to get your food.
jesus fucking christ. if i were the driver, id have pooped too.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:35 AM
“a few dollars probably didnt warrant this”
NO…YOU BEING A FAT CUNT WARRANTED THIS. you only have $10? then go buy food for $10…don’t have some dude drive your $10 of food over and then say “sorry” when you don’t tip him.
can we put this woman to death, please?
November 5th, 2012 at 8:36 AM
I could not even imagine the horror of watching that happen to your 2 year old
November 5th, 2012 at 8:36 AM
86.3 percent chance Barry O wins tomorrow. Ruh-roh.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:37 AM
Could not agree more. A tip is part of the cost of ordering food/going out to eat. You can’t afford that, prepare your own food.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:38 AM
Iowa woman doesn’t tip pizza guy, so he pees on her front door …
Had a pizza delivery guy steal my sons bike from my driveway. Lucky I was drunk and not driving into town to settle it myself. Gave him a good tip but apparently he thought a $300 bike was worth the two mile drive.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:39 AM

Totally agree with you, Spencer.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:42 AM
What but if you pick up your pizza? Do I have to tip the guy that takes the pizza from the warming rack and hands it to me. I frequently order pizza for pickup from the place next to my office and am never sure what to do.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:42 AM
One summer in high school a friend and I would order pizza everyday and somedays we just didn’t have enough to tip. What made it worse was on those days my friend would hang back around the corner chanting “no tip, no tip”.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:43 AM
well done
November 5th, 2012 at 8:44 AM
Wrong. Seems blatantly obvious that Cowboys will go after Payton. Firing Garrett before season is over would make no sense. Garrett won’t be coaching Dallas in 2013…but he will survive the season.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:44 AM
So when does a video of the kid getting dropped to his brutal death at the zoo pop up on the internet today?
November 5th, 2012 at 8:45 AM
No, that’s certainly not obligatory. To me, the job of the pizza place is to make me a pizza. The price of the pizza should cover the costs of the process. If you want to tip that’s certainly cool. But its not expected, IMO.
Now, if someone is bringing it to my house, that’s absolutely tip worthy.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:45 AM
Depends on Sean Peytons deal, Jerrah should back a Brinks truck up to his door.
Matt Ryan and Tony Romo playing in a big, nationally televised game looked exactly as we have come to expect: terrible.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:46 AM
Things certainly don’t look too promising for the good guys at the moment, but I’ll waiting until after the election to officially give up hope. Even if Romney had O’s current polling numbers I’d still be sweating it out.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:47 AM
Still, he’s much nicer than his ghetto cousin, the koala. That fucker just eats, shoots, and leaves.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:47 AM
Condolences to the victim’s family, but still…this is what bears do, people.
For y’all who’ve been delivery folks – I thought there was some disclaimer or caveat that allowed you to not deliver to a certain address/neighborhood “for cause”. At least it’s like that in the ‘hood…
November 5th, 2012 at 8:48 AM
Obama has Obama’s numbers and I’m worried. But at this point, every poll in the nation would have to be wrong. Silver called it “statistically biased.”
November 5th, 2012 at 8:48 AM
I usually do not tip when I pick up from a pizza place or any other restaurant where I get food to go. If a place is really busy and the person behind the bar is working her ass off I might tip a few bucks
November 5th, 2012 at 8:48 AM
It’s over.
But the Redskins lost. Meaning there is 94.4% percent chance the Romney wins!
November 5th, 2012 at 8:48 AM
Eh, just plain white. Would have been better had it been hot pink or some crazy color like that.
/ Chicks dig me, because I rarely wear underwear and when I do it’s usually something unusual.

November 5th, 2012 at 8:49 AM
no…but you have to tip the guy DRIVING TO YOUR HOUSE WHEN GAS IS OVER $3.50 A GALLON. fucking fat piece of shit…i wanna drive to des moines and…
…sorry, i do not want to drive to des moines. ever. i thought to myself once “ive driven thru ohio and oklahoma, how bad can iowa really be?” IT CAN BE THAT BAD.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:49 AM
never put your kid on a railing at the zoo, ever …
Wouldn’t, but if my kid fell in, I’d be in too.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:49 AM
I hope the Vikings go after Payton as well. As mentioned up there, AP didn’t get the ball much even when the team was only down by 1 score. They abandon the run way too quickly. Musgrave and Frazier need to be let go. They don’t know how to coach.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:50 AM
I’ll only tip in that instance if they go above and beyond for me. If there is some kind of problem with the order that they catch and fix while comping me then they’ll get a tip. If it’s the typical pizza place worker who drops the pizza on the counter than stands there waiting for my money they get nothing.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:50 AM
i wonder how many stupid rich people would buy a hypothetical “zoo railing child harness”…someone do some market research, i think we’ve got a mint to make.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:50 AM
I want to Ravens to hire Payton as OC. Fire Cameron right now, like, as I type this post, and sign him to whatever he wants.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:52 AM
It’s impossible to say what I’d “definitely” do in a particular situation, but I think chances are pretty good(Nate Silver could probably determine precisely) that I’d follow my kid into the cage if he/she fell with wild animals.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:53 AM
queefer…im salty about yesterday’s game. thought the browns had it there for a second…weeden really puckered up. i think it was pretty close, but balt’s experience carried the day.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:53 AM
i wonder how many stupid rich people would buy a hypothetical “zoo railing child harness”…someone do some market research, i think we’ve got a mint to make.
It’s called a waistband.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:55 AM
my child will definitely be prepared to the point where, even as a two year old, he’ll be able to snort “pssh, wild animals don’t live in a cage” before getting eaten.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:55 AM
I’m waiting for Nate Silver to come out with odds on where Payton goes or if he stays.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:55 AM
shhh…stupid rich people will buy anything.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:55 AM
“Huge fire in Sandy’s wake destroys New York City beach community”
That happened six days ago. The date on the link told me so.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:56 AM
I just don’t understand what comes over Baltimore on the road. Before that game winning drive they hadn’t picked up a first down in nearly two full quarters. That is
. Especially when you jump out to a 14-0 lead with two dominant drives.
Had the browns been able to convert just one of those red zone trips I think they win. And I would have punted on fourth there with three minutes left. That was a crazy decision.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:56 AM
Makes no sense.

“Please accept my apology for how Dave Christensen responded after the game,” Burman wrote in the email obtained by the Star-Tribune. “He let his emotions get control of him and he just snapped. It is in no way reflective of how we feel about the Academy — or its players. It makes no difference to me if the qb [Connor Dietz] did take a dive to let the back up get prepared at that critical juncture or if he was truly hurt. We need to maintain our composure at all times when we represent a state and a university.”
Love me some passive-aggressive almost-apologies.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:58 AM
i thought the decision to go for it was fine…what wasn’t was firstly, THE FUCKING HORRIBLE PLAYCALL and secondly, weeden way rushed the throw and went to the wrong WR.
browns couldve gotten 2 yards with a strong fart the way they were running.
thought flacco had a really rough game, all things considered. his OL was giving him decades in the pocket, even tho the OL started to struggle in the run.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:59 AM
yesterday wasn’t the first time this season these questions have been asked. it’s mind bottling really.
November 5th, 2012 at 8:59 AM
Because Ponder is so damn good man. How’s the potty man look now Viking fans?
November 5th, 2012 at 8:59 AM
Ravens get Oakland at home Sunday, then they’re at Pittsburgh (L), at SD (L) and home for Pitt (?).
If they can beat Oakland, lose to SD and split with Pittsburgh, that puts them 8-4 with four left. 2-2 the rest of the way probably gets them in, but those four games include Denver, at Washington, NYG, at Cincy.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:00 AM
The rich get richer: Jim Rome’s horse with a big win.
I had no idea Rome is a midget. Also, I wonder how much he pays his hair replacement guy. That is some bad looking hair even for a guy going through the throes of male pattern baldness.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that these “overrated” folks are not the same ones hoping their team goes after him.

oh don’t get me started on missouri…i swear that state has some kind of tectonic magnetic anomaly going on underneath it that, the second you step foot in that border, BAM…it’s like a landlocked bermuda triangle. im pretty sure i saw an orc buying some grizzly at a circle k in missouri…a fucking orc.

November 5th, 2012 at 9:03 AM
And is it weird that I’m rooting for Romney to win the popular vote but LOSE the electoral college? That way, BOTH parties will have been fucked over by something like this in recent history and will have incentive to alter things.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:04 AM
You had to know that pass was coming – Shurmur is straight out of the Holmgren/Reid way of thinking. Why run for a yard or two when you can put a shitty pass play in for a rookie QB?
November 5th, 2012 at 9:04 AM
I was more appalled at Tomlin channeling his inner Les Miles to pick up a 4th and 1 in the 4th quarter yesterday.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:04 AM
He was OK. But that’s it. In fairness, I thought the playcalling was atrocious: run into the line for no gain on first, low-percentage bomb down the field on second, low percentage bomb down the field on third. On that game winning drive they finally listened to screaming Baltimore fans and went back to playaction. Shocker: it worked great.
Baltimore has two problems: it has to overcome the worst OC in the league each week, and its receivers aren’t really good enough to get open with poor schemes. Browns receivers were standing wide open all game. No one within five yards. Flacco has to fit the ball into a virgin vag hole because his guys can’t separate. I cannot imagine what that team could be with a competent OC.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:05 AM
oh no, he’s not out of that line of thinking because then he’d be at least a semi-competent playcaller. shurmur’s line of thinking is the line of thinking of someone trying to hide the fact that they really have no fucking clue what they’re doing and then get upset when someone calls them out for it.
guarantee he blamed weeden for it during the presser.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:06 AM
As somebody who takes I-55 to go from STL to NOLA twice a year, the southern part of Missouri is a HORRIBLE drive. Anti-abortion billboards with fetuses on them or truck stop porn shops or highway chapels.

I’d much rather find a way to get the fillibuster removed from the Senate. IMO, that’s much more of an impediment to functioning government than the EC.

/Mr. Pink’d
November 5th, 2012 at 9:07 AM
I’ll agree on Musgrave. Not so much on Frazier.
Overwhelming problem is Ponder’s regression. I’m starting to wonder if the kid has any lasting confidence in himself, or it he just overthinks everything. Either way, not good.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:07 AM
This. I’m not even sure I could stand by and watch a stranger’s kid get mauled without trying to jump in and help.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:08 AM
It was a terrible throw. But I’m with you — run it there. The Ravens run D is atrocious and you have a RB whose one great skill is picking up tough yards.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:08 AM

What’s wrong with convenient porn?
November 5th, 2012 at 9:09 AM
the best part of shurmur’s playcall? a basic slant play, one run since bill walsh was sucking on his mama’s west coast titties, where the fucking line doesn’t even cut block, making weeden throw over their heads despite needing to drill in a bullet to make the play work.
that’s not the first time this has happened on a slant play either…it’s a coaching issue. it’s inexcusable.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:09 AM

I’d much rather find a way to get the fillibuster removed from the Senate. IMO, that’s much more of an impediment to functioning government than the EC.
I’m all for apportionment. I’m sick of Republicans having a lock on Texas and the southeast, and Democrats having locks on New York and California.
And I agree with you that the filibuster rules need to be changed or removed.

So does T-Dog get a tribute post today?
Holy shit, that show has so much pointless shit going on getting in the way of what might be a decent story arc for this season. I mean, T-Dog’s death was meaningless in terms of the plot, but killing him off and the other one in the same episode seemed to be pointless. And the whole way the other died tortured any real logic.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:13 AM
I thought this too. Then I did a little research on the dogs involved.
Unless you got about 15 other people to jump in with you with weapons, I don’t think any of us had much of a chance vs. 11 of them.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:14 AM
I’ve been a defender of Shumer up until now, but I’m done with him. It’s obvious that the Browns have talent, but not a coaching staff to do anything with it. That game was the Browns to lose.
/Flacco is terrible
November 5th, 2012 at 9:14 AM
60 minutes last night was awesome. Steve Croft taking Reid and McConnell to the woodshed for a do nothing congress, David McCollough interview (can’t believe he still writes his books on a typewriter), and Aaron Rodgers coming off as a huge dick.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:14 AM
Spoiler about Walking Dead. Stop reading if you didn’t watch the episode:
I watched the episode and then read some reviews that were put out last night. Was really surprised at how many people thought that it was a great episode. I loved the zombie chaos thing, as that’s the best thing about this show. But people were actually complimenting the acting done by Rick when his wife died. He’s never been a good actor in my opinion, and I found his reaction to be more funny than sad. I am glad that Lori is gone, though. Less said about T-Dog, the better. He had a noble death, but they really didn’t give him much to work with over past 3 years.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:15 AM

As soon as he started getting uppity and questioning Rickles I knew he was not gonna last long.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:16 AM
and what’s worse is it has gotten better. when I first moved down here there were billboards that claimed “clean restrooms”. I once made the mistake of stopping at one that didn’t make this proclamation, and I count that as one of the biggest mistakes of my life.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:16 AM
I see it more as Drew Brees is overrated and Sean Peyton made a good QB look great for a couple years.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:17 AM
Agreed on everything except the Rogers point. He’s awesome. Very easy guy to root for.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:17 AM
I’m not going to assume that someone stupid enough to put their two year old a railing has the tactical wits to fend off a dozen wild dogs after a snack.
Fucking tragic that they had to kill one of the dogs, those things are a marvel of modern zoology.
Fuck whatever lawyer takes the parents’ case when they inevitably sue the zoo.

the restaurant they went to is my friend’s dad’s place. City Tavern is fantastic old school food and drink if you are in Philly. Walter Staib is a bas ass.

im pretty sure i saw an orc buying some grizzly at a circle k in missouri…a fucking orc
When my parents came up to Missouri for an extended stay after my wife and I bought our house, my dad would do the following thing several times when we were out: he’d look around for a good 30 seconds, shake his head, tap my arm and say, “Jesus Christ, son, are there ANY attractive people in this goddamn state?” or “Do these folks take any PRIDE in how they look?”
Mind you, my dad is no prize himself. LEGEND.

oh don’t get me started on missouri…i swear that state has some kind of tectonic magnetic anomaly going on underneath it that, the second you step foot in that border, BAM…it’s like a landlocked bermuda triangle. im pretty sure i saw an orc buying some grizzly at a circle k in missouri…a fucking orc.

Didn’t watch the zoo video, but have observed at the zoo we go to that even if you got over the railing most pens still have a moat or some other barrier between you and animals.

So if you guys saw a group of wild animals going after a kid that’s not related to you, you’d jump in without any hesitation? I’m glad there are still good people like you guys that exists in this world, because I gotta tell you, I don’t think I could do it.

But people were actually complimenting the acting done by Rick when his wife
Going to strongly disagree here. Thought the last 5 minutes were great. Laurie’s acting knowing she’s going to die was subpar. Rick’s reaction was exactly what I thought it should be and he did a good job handling a tough scene.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:29 AM
While it’s all well and good that you all claim to be the “Take Action” types and will jump in without thinking, I have been in a couple situations like this and sadly I don’t see it. Too many people instantly go into this freeze mentality because they don’t know what to do. They almost assume that someone else will jump in or that something beyond their mental capability of handling the situation is happening and they just can’t move.

November 5th, 2012 at 9:32 AM
The funniest thing, or maybe the saddest was that Steve was asking them real questions, tough questions about the bumblefuck that has been going on and they both go right into political rehearesed speech and stats. They thought this was just another Fox or MSNBC interview.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:32 AM
Yeah if you started gunning down an endangered species when more than likely the kid is already dead you’re an ass and probably going to jail.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:33 AM
And yeah I’m not shocked people would freeze, that’s got to be one of the more horrific things imaginable to witness.
I presume oheelyeah would have saved the child, though.

November 5th, 2012 at 9:36 AM
If it was my child, there’s no doubt that I would jump in without hesitation. If it was a stranger’s child, all I’ve said is that I would find it hard to do nothing.

November 5th, 2012 at 9:39 AM
All this talk about jumping in to save the kid is somewhat useless. I saw a report that the fall is probably what killed him. 14 feet. Right on his head.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:39 AM
Or, dont put your two-year old on a 4 foot high wooden railing, in a standing position. I wouldn’t even fathom doing that with my kid. Two-year olds dont have the best balance, they fall while running.
November 5th, 2012 at 9:40 AM
I’m hanging onto some naive hope that Republicans, faced with reality of Obama’s second term, will work with Democrats to actually solve problems rather than “try to make him a one-term president.” But probably not. Methinks Operation Take Our Country Back In 2016 starts 11/7.

I’m really hoping that the second death happening the way it did does not mean they are not going to have the Gov and his crew storm the prison. I can’t see how they get away from that but they certainly left the possibility out there with how L.G bit it.

Of course, that won’t even be shocking after millions do the same to escape Black Hussein Osama’s second “Sharia” term.

November 5th, 2012 at 10:37 AM
Queefer – here is what I think (as I’ve posted previously):
I think Obama will win Ohio and Virginia and that will be that. I think Silver’s analysis is too favorable to Obama compared to what will play out, and that Rasmussen is going to be shown to be correct on some things where Silver is giving Obama the edge.
The truth of the matter is that this deal should be a landslide for Romney given the past 4 years. But Romney is a weak ass candidate and Obama is very, very good at running for President (not so good at being President, though).
As I’ve said many times, I think this is an echo, not a choice. In my opinion, the debt crisis and what it’s going to bring is the single most important issue we face. And I don’t think either of these guys, or their cohorts in Congress, will do what is necessary to get us out of this death spiral – they’ll both try to outspend each other – whether it’s for social engineering or war with Muslims and those whose women have sideways vaginas.
Now, as for you, I’m convinced that you are a smug little blowhard. I don’t see that changing despite the results of tomorrow’s elections.
November 5th, 2012 at 10:38 AM

Yes. Wasn’t trying to call just you out. It’s clearly not winning awards, and I too complain, but this year is still far and away better. Kind of like cheering for a team that you know sucks (Titans)and still being happy when they do something good.

Romney isn’t really a bad candidate (although that will be the fallback when he loses, just like when McCain got beat). Its the conservative ideas that stink. Republicans need to take out the trash after this (likely) loss and bring actual leaders with bright minds to the forefront. Not Ayn Rand zealots like Paul Ryan or religious nuts like Bachmann. Actual moderate problem solvers that can ignore the base and bring more people into the tent.
Romney did as well as he could given who he is — am empty suited plutocrat with no real core or conviction. 99 percent of the time, those people aren’t likeable, and Romney wasn’t the exception.

If Romney would have chosen Rob Portman instead of Paul Ryan, he would have likely won Ohio. Portman is a well respected dude in SW Ohio, and would have likely brought in enough votes to win. This is likely something that will haunt Romney and his supporters for a long time.
That said, as a proud Ohio resident, I cannot fucking wait for the election to be over. My phone rang 22 times yesterday. 22. Twenty-two.
In the 75 minutes it took to get to work today (Obama is going to be in downtown Columbus shortly), I heard 2 non-political advertisements on the radio. 2. Two.
I HAVE HAD ENOUGH.
November 5th, 2012 at 11:10 AM
I was in front of the TV the majority of the day yesterday doing many different things. Conservatively, I’d say I saw no less than 75 political ads between the 1 and 4 pm football games. The wife came down to watch Revenge and there were probably a dozen more. They’re running back-to-back-to-back, too, so you have four minute commercial blocks comprised of nothing but negative ads. Horrific.

I have no idea. I tune them out as soon as they come on. The enjoyable ads are the local candidates with small budgets and how amateurish their ads look.
